Appraisal
An elegantly-proportioned middle-size house, built as one of a pair (with 22821134/WD-31-21-134), which retains its original form and massing, together with a range of important salient features and materials. Features such as the elliptical-headed recesses to ground floor are a distinguishing characteristic of the composition, and enhance the architectural quality of the site. The house, together with the second in the pair, forms an appealing feature in the streetscape, and contributes to the visual appeal of Church Street.
